The SEC or the ACC? Get the f out of here. Plus, UF plays FSU too. I&#39;d like UM to enroll some more felons and gangsters like they did back in the day. I mean, when UM and UF play I&#39;m rooting for the Canes but saying stupid nonsense about UF being lame and scared just makes UM fans look stupid and out of touch.

<p>You claim to have graduated from UM Law School...If that were true, which it most certainly is not, then you are 100% right, our Law School would be pathtic...which it is not!</p>
<p>You also claim to have better things to do, yet you squat on this site slamming everything about the &quot;U&quot;, while cooing how great everything is with the Gators. Listen stupid, you&#39;re cowardly act has grown tiresome on all of the UM sports blogs and no one buys your stupidity.</p>
<p>Here&#39;s the deal:</p>
<p>Your crazy coach quit on you twice inside of a 12 month period</p>
<p>Your team boasts just shy of 40 felony arrests.</p>
<p>You cowards are petrified to play the Canes as Hocutt begged Foley to renew the series and he ran and hid...again!</p>
<p>Your football schedule is the most cowardly in all of the NCAA and even when you try to schedule a National Championship you go 7 &amp; 5, with only 4 away games. </p>
<p>Your program is being looked at by the NCAA who is ready to launch a major investigation in the coming months that will end in serious sanctions similar to USC&#39;s. </p>
<p>You are a joke as is your laugable team...always remember junior the great Miami Hurricanes have 5 National Championships and are on the way to 5 more.</p>dbc commented on 'AD Kirby Hocutt leaves for Texas Tech, says decision was tough'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20147e2dafe39970b2011-02-27T01:27:27Z2011-02-27T01:27:27ZdbcHere's hoping that UM hires THE BEST PERSON for the AD job, and that Shalala doesn't have a liberal guilt...<p>Here&#39;s hoping that UM hires THE BEST PERSON for the AD job, and that Shalala doesn&#39;t have a liberal guilt spasm and hires someone from the politically correct group of the week.<br />

<p>Miohael, KH may have improved donations but look at the football product, absolutely terrible. I believe he gave RS additional money before firing him. Also, who says Golden is a winning coach at UM. He hasn&#39;t even started yet. He came from Temple, not USC. He may turn into a good hire but at this point who knows?

Heath wasn&#39;t his hire, and remember the BB season isn&#39;t over, he still may be fired.

My salient points for all the simpletons (Michael): Over the last 5 years UM Football has been terrible. Other sports, hoops and baseball, have been under performing too. Hocutt has not appeared to have done anything to change, this so his leaving is not a big deal. Real talk.</p>Eudocimus commented on 'AD Kirby Hocutt leaves for Texas Tech, says decision was tough'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2014e5f7c2282970c2011-02-26T15:53:58Z2011-02-26T15:53:58ZEudocimus IMAWriter, you're wrong on two accounts, Shalala is the reason they didn't hire Leach and there's no where they could...<p>IMAWriter, you&#39;re wrong on two accounts, Shalala is the reason they didn&#39;t hire Leach and there&#39;s no where they could have possibly have built a stadium in Coral Gables or South Miami. So if it would&#39;ve been a new stadium out in the boonies, what&#39;s the point?</p>cc commented on 'AD Kirby Hocutt leaves for Texas Tech, says decision was tough'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2014e8656a9e6970d2011-02-26T15:49:42Z2011-02-26T15:49:42ZccFIRST OF ALL lets cut through the coach speak and code... -This is not about goingo home -This is not...<p>FIRST OF ALL lets cut through the coach speak and code... <br />
-This is not about goingo home<br />
-This is not about grand opportunity</p>
<p>This is about things in our future that are not too bright that he has the insight on to avoid.<br />
We dont know what they are yet but look for them to unfold. Possibilites include:<br />
-HIs future here is based on performance of Golden with Golden a short term solution<br />
-Working with Shalala is always a toxic reltaionship..and will be a limiter on next hire<br />
-Being used by Gruden damaged his credibility<br />
-Is it not curious that the very first offer he jumped on post Gruden meltdown..Any university would be considered &quot;closer&quot; to home from Miami.</p>
<p>Lastly this does not bode well if your future is based on the performance of your only hire to date and you bail at the first &quot;opportunity&quot;. Puts the Golden hire in further disdain, IMO.</p>Nerole commented on 'AD Kirby Hocutt leaves for Texas Tech, says decision was tough'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2014e865698aa970d2011-02-26T15:29:18Z2011-02-26T15:29:18ZNeroleMack Rhoades - Houston.<p>Mack Rhoades - Houston.</p>Canes4Life91 commented on 'AD Kirby Hocutt leaves for Texas Tech, says decision was tough'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20147e2d6f435970b2011-02-26T15:06:59Z2011-02-26T15:06:59ZCanes4Life91UM has some local Alums who would fill the part very well.

While i believe the james family lied and set leach up to be fired as part of some plot it looks bad. Lets face facts here While leach is a great coach the baggage he brings is something miami has tried to avoid ever since shala took over as president. This isnt the canes of the 80s where coaches and players were outspoken and controversial that all changed with ncaa sanctions stemming from the dennis erickson years. Golden looks like a guy who knows what he is doing. I think hocutt though did a good job while he was here. I wish he would of stayed. I belive had he stayed the canes budget would of got better every year. I hope shalala finds a guy with the kinda drive and fund raising potential kirby flashed in his time here. The fact is this guy is a big 12 texas guy this was a cant miss job for him because its in his home state. I love his hire of golden. Shannon wasnt a hocutt hire and he had to give him an extension after the 9-4 season with what looked like a shot at bcs coming the next year when miami fell to 7-6 hocutt rectified that situation. The man did a great job. As for we are the worst 90 pct of the negative nancy stuff u see on this board is from a gator troll sean wilson pretending to be a canes fan.</p>gary Friedmann commented on 'AD Kirby Hocutt leaves for Texas Tech, says decision was tough'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20147e2d5969b970b2011-02-26T10:35:21Z2011-02-26T10:35:21Zgary FriedmannI am very glad that Kirby has left.

arriving at Miami from Ohio University. I know that Kirby was not well respected at Ohio University. That is Ohio University and not Ohio State University.</p>
<p>Al Golden seems to have command over all aspects of the football program. But I think there are many coaches out there who had as much ability as Golden that would have loved to come to UM for a salary in excess of $10,000,000<br />
over 5 years.</p>
<p>I think Kirby was a very weak link in the chain.<br />
I do not think his fundraising was superb and has management of the athletic program was 5 standard deviations from the mean.</p>Soldy commented on 'AD Kirby Hocutt leaves for Texas Tech, says decision was tough'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20147e2d4e9a8970b2011-02-26T06:39:36Z2011-02-26T06:39:36ZSoldyShould I even try Arty ? maybe, just maybe they'll figure it out finally, in 3-4 years ... but probably...<p>Should I even try Arty ?</p>

<p>The college sports scene will never be what it was meant to be...</p>
<p>Just listen to them...they say the U is a brand but they consider themselves (the ADS and coaches of top colleges) like they are a bigger brand than any schools...</p>
<p>So Kirby just don&#39;t repeat the same BS at Texas Tech that you said at the U...Just take the money and shut up...And please take Frank Haith with you.</p>UMLaw commented on 'AD Kirby Hocutt leaves for Texas Tech, says decision was tough'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2014e5f79d76e970c2011-02-26T05:52:03Z2011-02-26T05:52:03ZUMLawAs a UM alum I'm glad this ding dong is gone.

much of what you say makes sense...<br />
Funny though, Donald trump wanted to fund a stadium if we hired Mike Leach. Would that have been so bad?<br />
This is, of course Kirby&#39;s fault, as he had it in his power to hire Leach, but didn&#39;t like the idea of giving so powerful a personality any chance....and now Hocutt is gone. <br />
Goodbye stadium.</p>
